Notes on GIS data:

Original files in multiple layers have been merged into three layers:

Major Routes
Minor Routes
Nodes


The original nodes were duplicated for use by multiple routes.  These have been trimmed so that each node only appears once and has a unique identifier, preceded by the prefix  cmgd_  (Chama gudao).


SImilarly, each of the uniq "routes" have an ID number.

This draft can facilitate future research on these ancient routes.
